Ukusetshenziswa okuyinhloko kwe-rhodium kufana ne-anti-wear coating kanye ne-catalyst yezinsimbi zesayensi eziphezulu, futhi i-rhodium-platinum alloy isetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza ama-thermocouples.Iphinde isetshenziselwe ukunamathisela ezibonisini zamalambu emoto, iziphindaphinda zocingo, amathiphu epeni, njll. Imboni yezimoto ingumsebenzisi omkhulu we-rhodium.Njengamanje, ukusetshenziswa okuyinhloko kwe-rhodium ekukhiqizeni izimoto i-catalyst exhaust yezimoto.Eminye imikhakha yezimboni edla i-rhodium ukukhiqiza ingilazi, ukukhiqiza ingxubevange yamazinyo, kanye nemikhiqizo yobucwebe.Ngokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kobuchwepheshe be-fuel cell kanye nokuvuthwa kancane kancane kobuchwepheshe bezimoto zamangqamuzana kaphethiloli, inani le-rhodium elisetshenziswa embonini yezimoto lizoqhubeka nokukhula.

Amaseli kaphethiloli we-membrane ye-Proton anezinzuzo zokukhishwa kwe-zero, ukusebenza kahle kwamandla aphezulu, namandla alungisekayo.Zibhekwa njengomthombo wamandla oshayelayo wezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi esikhathini esizayo.Kodwa-ke, ubuchwepheshe obukhona budinga ukusetshenziswa kwenani elikhulu le-platinum nanocatalysts yensimbi eyigugu ukuze kugcinwe ukusebenza kwayo kahle.
Abanye abacwaningi benze i-proton exchange membrane fuel cell cathode catalyst enomsebenzi omuhle kakhulu we-catalytic nokuzinza, besebenzisa iplatinum nickel rhodium nano xian.
I-platinum nickel rhodium ternary metal nanowire catalyst entsha ye-platinum nickel ithuthuke kakhulu ngokomsebenzi wekhwalithi nokuzinza kwe-catalytic, okubonisa ukusebenza okuhle kakhulu namandla okusebenza.
